Lead Python Engineer (Remote - UK)

This agtech start up is breaking ground in the $1 trillion global livestock trading industry to bring livestock trading into the digital age.
Breedr is building technology which connects farmers, processors and food retailers together to deliver supply chain transparency, traceability and improvements in the economic and environmental impacts of livestock production. We are developing a suite of tools which will help farmers make better informed decisions about sourcing, breeding and animal management, including animal health to deliver a production base fit for the future.

With some 20 years cumulative experience in agriculture supply, food processing, and grocery retail we have seen first hand the impacts of the lack of relevant technology, tools and intel to make the best decisions. Based on this, Breedr has been founded; founded to revolutionise red meat production for the greater good.We are now looking to extend our team to deliver significant positive impacts to the industry.

As the lead backend engineer, you will work in tandem with the head of engineering and the rest of the development team, to ensure that we deliver a world class platform that supports Breedr’s business model

We’re a small and passionate team, so you will be instrumental in defining the technical direction of the platform. We’re building an engineering team that loves agency, and gets it, so you will be self driven and keen pick up and own parts of the platform. Our engineers own the code they write, so they get to decide on how it’s written and what it runs on. We are a data company, so on top of all that, you’ll bring experience that helps us design and implement our data pipeline.

This is a remote role, based in the UK and possible commute to London 1 day a week if required.
